found the limit, good and bad 850 1994

dude, i hear what you are saying. i started this post to say don't push you tranny to the stress of over 20psi. i refuse to speed in neighborhoods where shildren would be playing. i only race on empty freeways. to which i seriously doubt your daughter would be playing on. this post is in no way meant to bring up so many sparks. it's the most activity i've seen on this forum in a long time.

Yes, i speed, yes, i've paid the consequences. i have 4 points on my liscence, whoopty-doo. i take great pride in maintaining my car to make sure it is safe. you could be driving 45 in a zone rated for 45. if someone runs out in front of you, you minght not have time to react. speeding or not. which is why i mostly obey posted speedlimits. keyword, mostly.

street racing is illegal, but you know what, people have always done it, are doing it, and always will as long as there are different cars in production and they can be modified. hell, i've raced a police officer, twice. guess what, i was not pulled either time, that is how good law enforcement it on keeping street racing illegal.

There are some of us that enjoy it and have taken the proper training courses. i've taken the driving schools offered when you by a M3, the one when you Buy an M5. i've take 2 different defensive driving schools. i noticed another driver on this ost has done classes similar and beyond my experience. i only go as fast as i feel comfotable, and don't push my personal limits. i learned how to drive when i was 12, and been driving my father's collection, and have not wrecked a single one. now i am building my own collection, and still no wrecks. i think that says something, and it's not luck.

94 854 turbo. (193 hp, 230.1 ft/lbs) numbers are higher, but till i go back to the dyno, i am unsure.
